Countercurrent Electrolysis in a Cell Where Porous Membranes Have Been Connected in Series with Ion-Exchange Membranes. Part 2. Experimental Verification

Abstract

Countercurrent electrolysis in a cell wehre porous membranes have been connected in series with ion-exchange membranes has been studied experimentally for the ternary system NaCl-KC1-H₂O. The number of porous membranes was varied from one to four, and the effect of cationic fluxes on separation was also studied. A comparison between three different kinds of cell arrangements was made, and the present method was found to be the most attractive for practical purposes.
